The Supreme Court of Canada is set to decide Thursday whether to hear the appeal of Raed Jaser, who was convicted of planning to commit murder for the benefit of a terrorist group.

Jury selection is underway for Abdul Olasupo, charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon related to a deadly shooting in a Staten Island deli.

Jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs's sex-trafficking trial is expected to conclude Friday, with jurors being selected from 45 potential panelists.

Combs's 17-page indictment alleges a two-decade pattern of abusive behavior against women, drawing comparisons to charges typically filed against organized crime leaders.

"At the end of this case, it will be your responsibility to consider the evidence and my instructions, and decide whether the accused are guilty or not guilty of the crimes of which they are charged."

This will be a tough one," says Don Worley, the president and managing attorney... It is tough because it will be hard to find a potential juror who has not heard about this.
